    I have a 2011 Double Cab TRD Speedway Blue with dark tint on the front windows. Thinking of getting the window visors, but have a few questions for peeps with experience. Checked out AVS, EGR & Weathertech, appr $60 for AVS & EBR and $99 for Weathertech. Will any of them scratch my tint, and what are opinions regarding fit and quality ? Thanks in advance for responding.

    AVS here and seem to be working just fine. I will say it sounded like the windows had sand or something in them at first but now they are good to go.
    No scratches either and seem to be holding up well.

    WeatherTech in channel work great. Just check the back every few years to make sure the 3M tape doesn't need replacing.

    Another vote for AVS. I've had mine almost 5 years. Had to re-stick a rear one about 2 years ago but other than that no issues and they were cheap.

    Does the window motor bind once the top of the window gets in the channel?

    none of them will scratch the tint, specifically the in-channel. the in-channel visors will hit the outside of the window and you're tint should have been applied on the inside of the window.
